I wish they would have told us this up front with the announcement, rather than me having to go through all the work of creating the video and then when you go to upload it, it's a mystery as to how your supposed to do it, and then find out from third parties that it's not available to everyone this year.
Same here, I literally just now wanted to upload my video, put a lot of thought and effort into it and now realized I cannot upload it! Feeling super disappointed!
I just wanted to check out the feature, all I got was “we couldn’t load this page” and overall hit a dead end. dk why Spotify is gate keeping like this but Its super disappointing
Thankfully I found your video. I did my Spotify Wrapped last year with no problem, and this year I'm stressing out because I couldn't find the function for clips. Very informative, thank you! 😊
Damn was looking forward to this. Thought I was crazy with spotify shoving endless ads into my face that I should record a clip but it never showed up on artists. Thanks for the info!
Thank you for this Andrew! I currently have over 140k monthly listeners and no access to clips (even tho I signed up to the beta way back when). Spotify Support escalated it, not sure what else any of us can do other than chat with support and hope they roll out clips faster...
I had some issues with finding where to drop my wrapped video, luckily I was able to upload it, but I think it's crazy a lot of artists under 400k don't have the option?? like what??? The most listeners I had during a month period this year was just over 1400 - I currently have like 200. I have to wonder if it's just glitchy on Spotify's parts or if they're picking and choosing who can upload wrapped.
Ooooh, i thought it was because i hadn't uploaded canvas for my up-coming EP. So its just spotify showing preferential treatment to big signed arists..... not surprising, they seem to be actively trying to mess with indie artists. Yet another staw on the camels back, and that back will break sooner or later.
I think this year you can actually upload multiple Wrapped clips for different songs. I guess the idea is that fans see the most relevant clips depending on the songs they listen the most. So I got all excited and recorded 4 clips just to find out that I have no access to Clips 😂😂 Do'h, Spotify!
Thank you a lot for this video, Andrew! So I am super annoyed and frustrated that I recorded this video, put a lot of effort into it and now only realized I cannot upload it (wasn't in any of the marketing emails about this or the landing page which I don't get why they would not add that). I now talked to the Spotify support about this and this is the feedback I got, in case any of you are interested: "Kindly be advised for this year's Wrapped Clips, only artists with access to the main Clips feature can upload for Wrapped." And to my question what is the criteria for clips: "Clips are rolled out to eligible artists through out the year and we notify them via email when they are eligible. The specific criteria is not disclosed since it's handled separately."
hahahah, when I played your video I thought you were going to say straight away that we are all F..ked, But thanks God I realize we are all in the same sinking boat. 🤣🤣🤣 what a relief! Sorry for being so selfish but it's some consolation 😆
The most frustrating thing is that Spotify PITCHES you the Wrapped 2024 on your feed, only to make you feel bad after you realize that you can't do shit.
Well finally got to the point that I had listeners that weren't my friends and family mentioning being excited to be top listeners and receive their clip, but now I'll just make an IG story I guess lol
If I do have the option enabled, should I upload a different clip for each of my songs to show on wrapped? Or just one clip, and then asociate it with my most streamed song for example?
Hey Andrew, I tried running some google RUclips ads for one of my music videos following your videos but it was denied because of copyright issues. My distributor CD Baby which allows RUclips users to use it so how can I get around this? Thanks brother
@@tuckedinshirt yeah I thought about that, but they encourage you to tell stories about the specific track you add the clip to, but I guess a general one is better than nothing
@krunge I was able to do a wrapped video last year and from my understanding it’s a different video from clips which are a separate thing that can be uploaded anytime of year. Wrapped is only at the end
Andrew, I had to sign up to the beta to get access to clips. Anyone could sign up. I have access to clips but my gf doesn’t and she has 2.3mm monthly listeners.
I think i've signed up to the Clips beta like 5 times over the past year or so they've had that form open. Not sure why they gave access to a couple artists I have with less than 100 monthly listeners, but not the artists I actually applied for with 10k, 20k, 50k etc. You'd think your gf with 2.3M would get it automatically haha.

Not having access to clips and not being able to do a wrapped video is such a travesty this year - very anti-artist decision from Spotify
For real.
It's not anti-artist, it's anti artists who aren't at the top of the pyramid... which sucks even more.
I wish they would have told us this up front with the announcement, rather than me having to go through all the work of creating the video and then when you go to upload it, it's a mystery as to how your supposed to do it, and then find out from third parties that it's not available to everyone this year.
Same here, I literally just now wanted to upload my video, put a lot of thought and effort into it and now realized I cannot upload it! Feeling super disappointed!
Yes! Why would they announce to so many of us artists that we can upload a video, only to make so many of us hit a dead end? Disappointing.
Indeed, this is just an extremely huge clusterfuck!

so weird last year i had it and i had less monthly listeners then what i got now. so idk why they took that away from me too
Bro THANK YOU for answering this. I tried so many times and these guys wouldn’t let me. You’re the man and you’re completely tapped in
ahh no way! thanks for breaking this down 🙏🏾
Anyone else think Andrew looks like Edward Snowden's long lost little brother?

If you are more of a producer / artist and not much of a person who do shows and sell merch's. Should I still upload a video?
Dang I just recorded my Spotify wrapped video and couldn’t figure it out. Thanks for sharing this!
that time of year when artists who buy plays and do absolute zero promo get to show off their fake stats. its so cringe
thats so weird. I was able to do this last year and now I can't.
I do as I please
What?
Hahahahah, the phone skit was awesome 🤣

Many people making comments here are taking this better than me - thanks for helping me laugh!

That's all so crazy. Is there anywhere we can all sign a petition and send to Spotify?
I was wondering why I couldn’t do that this year, I was looking for it and couldn’t find it
OMG I took my time to do and everything after being bombed with those ads for wrapped and now I can't upload it??
I just asked support for access and they gave me access to it. Sometimes all you can do is ask and it works out.
this confirmed i wasn't going crazy. dont have the clips option either. they should be promoting indie artists more and this is hurting us. frustrated
hahahah, when I played your video I thought you were going to say straight away that we are all F..ked,

I still don't understand. Can I upload it or not? All I see is Canvas on my video and visuals not clips. Does not work then?
Ugh. I thought it was just me - came here to find out what was wrong- so disappointing for most of us :(
yeah this is ridiculous
One of my favorite yearly traditions
I am predicting spotify wrapped 2024 to be available on 11/27, since 2 years ago they started wrapped on the last Wednesday of November
Well finally got to the point that I had listeners that weren't my friends and family mentioning being excited to be top listeners and receive their clip, but now I'll just make an IG story I guess lol

this is so annoying, just filmed a clip for nothing lol
I oddly have access to clips and i only have 5k monthly listens
Can 30 of us artists commenting here send you a 1 second clip each and you upload a 30 second video with all of us in it? 😅
I'm only at 3k monthly listeners but I have access... On the downside I don't know what to put in a wrapped clip?
Essentially thank your fans for the support this year and let them know if you have any plans for the new year
@@tuckedinshirt yeah I thought about that, but they encourage you to tell stories about the specific track you add the clip to, but I guess a general one is better than nothing
That's so interesting! How do they decide who has access and who doesn't?
@krunge I was able to do a wrapped video last year and from my understanding it’s a different video from clips which are a separate thing that can be uploaded anytime of year. Wrapped is only at the end
Andrew, I had to sign up to the beta to get access to clips. Anyone could sign up. I have access to clips but my gf doesn’t and she has 2.3mm monthly listeners.

You'd think your gf with 2.3M would get it automatically haha.
Last year it was great to be part of this as a smaller band. Its a bummer to be excluded under 1mio monthly listeners. Thanks daniel ek for nothing
hey andrew! kinda of off topic question but do you reccomend using sales over conversion campaigns for spotify?
Hey! No I would use the engagement objective for website conversions. Sales will generally be more expensive.
What a shame. Spotify totally missing the mark here.
I’ve noticed from years ago Spotify are very weird and slow. With certain features. They definitely have some incompetence in one of their departments
I take my own advice
